What an aaaassshhhooollleeee. I am in disbelief at how "tone deaf" these dudes are about Drew's actual meaning and intent. This is gonna get real ugly and it might just blow up the team. These mf's need to all apologize to Drew for misrepresenting both his words and his character.

Unbelievable.

Unbelievable.

Too late! Dizzle has declared the Saints are finished for good.

I said the team was tearing apart, as in players are calling out Drew for his views.

I never said we were done for good, as usual you spin someone's words to suit your own sarcastic agenda.

A couple of young dudes not getting context is not "tearing the team apart". Why did you not simply say they were "calling him out for his views"?

Huh? I like a lot of your input (when you are actually around), but you seem to always go with that negative slant on things.

Are you seeing something positive in this? Cause I sure as hell ain't. Dude, MT and MJ talking **** publicly about not only their teammate, QB and leader, but also about a guy that has shown nothing but class.

You've got a positive spin on that. Please...enlighten me.

Exactly my point, people viewed as leaders on the team arguing with other leaders, and that's only the people that have spoken up, there will be some that have not publicly voiced their views.
This could cause a rift in the locker room.

Its not the fact that my views are negative, I just don't see a positive spin on this. The way a lot of athletes have responded to Drews comments, makes me think this could divide the team.

This is why I didn't want Jenkins back. He's the biggest loud mouth of them all. Apparently the entire team is infected with his bigotry. And yes, the way Jenkins and his teammates are reacting to Brees is true bigotry.

Millionaires, telling others what they're allowed to say, and crying about "systemic racism". What about the fact that black folks, despite making up only 13% of the population, somehow lead the nation in violent crime? Given the amount of interactions with police that they force upon themselves, it speaks to the exact OPPOSITE of racism that more blacks aren't killed by police.

Does that mean that every act is justified by police? No, of course not. You can't take the countless thousands of cops out there and expect that a small number won't go rogue. Is it a systemic problem? Not even close. These people keep saying "listen to us". We've listened... We've proven that it isn't a systemic problem. The left cherry picks what they will report on, and these ignorant football players take the bait and show just exactly what racism actually looks like.

It's sad.
